THE CHRONICLE IS coNFnENT.
The supposed D. & NJ. railroad sur

of last week have now reached a point
nine miles southwest Of this city, and
are heading directly for this place.
Information gathered by persistent
effort OH the part lof Chronicle re-
porter from persons connected with
the surveying party, who came in for
supplies point to the certainty of the
survey being completed to this place
during the coming week. The un-
usual length of time employed, and the
extreme care shown in the matter of
determining the establishment OF tile
line, would indicate that the survey
was to lie permanent. 1t is a matter
of the greatest difficulty 10 obtain any
definite information from the party
that would le Of interest to our readers
even The assurance of the supposed fact.
that the survey is being made by the
II. & NJ. company, which however, we
deem entirely safe TO conclude that it is.
There is now every reason to believe
that in view of the late impetus given
this place by recent tin developments
which promise increased Importance
and enlarged prestige to this place in
the near future. that this company
have wisely concluded to include this
city in lis system by building a branch
to this place from favorable point on
the line of her main survey along the
Cheyenne river, about forty miles south
of this place, where the present survey
forms il junction Herewith. With
the assurance of a branch road connect
ing us with one of the great trunk
lines on the south, and the compar-
ative certainty of early connection
with the great Northwestern system
on the east, it is by nomcans surprising
that on this holiday occasion Custer
is jubilart to a degree beyond all pre-
cedcnt in the history of the place. We
hope to ncte the completion Of the sur
vey within the limits of this city in

4 SURE FOR LEPROSY.
Successful Treatment of the Disease at the
Dominion Lazaretto-Hygienic Influences.

OTTAWA, April 21--Those who have been
skeptical as to the possibility of eradicating
leprosy when once it has seated itself in the hui
man system will find rebuttal in the report of
the officer in charge of the Dominion Lazaretto,
at Tracodie. N. B., which was laid before Par
lament. DR.. Smith, the officer in question, re-
ports that on the 1st of January there were nine
teen cases of leprosy under treatment in that
institution. During the year three new patients
had been admitted while five under treatment
had died of the disease.
He reports that there are two patients whose
sufferings must soon end in death, twelve pa
tents in the earlier stages of the disease. and
five in its more advanced stage, in which differ
ent portions of the body suffer from the infltra-
ton of leprous material leading to the destruc-
ton of healthy flesh; alterations causing loss of
fingers and toes; tubercles destroying eyesight
and functions of the tongue and throat. He re-
ports the case of male patient who was dis
charged a year ago, whose recovery he attrib-
uted to the hygienic influences of the lazaretto
acting on robust constitution, the only indica-
tons of the malady remaining being a few
marks of healed ulcers
He also reports the of young female pa
tient, who has been under treatment for several
years, as completely cured all symptoms of the
disease having entirely disappeared. 1t had just
been reported to him that a family living not far
distant from the lazaretto had become
afflicted with leprosy, which he would at once
investigate. The cases reported at Cape Breton
had after investigation. proved to be another
disease strongly resembling leprosy. The moro

I tell you most OF the soldiers, and officers par
ticulariy, thinking more of womankind. and
the face of the man, who in due course of the
law had less than ten days before his death

IRISH QUESTIONS.

Discussing the Land Bill in the House of
Lords-Another Case of GaeRule.
LONDON, April 22-The debate on the Irish
land bill was continued in the House of Lords
this evening The Duke of Argyll questioned
General Buffers ability to judge Of the position
of tenants. The word judicial" he said, was
a MISSIONER as regards rents. The evil
dence obtained by the Cowper commits
sion showed that the rents were fixed
in accordance with nc settled principle. The
bill would not stand examination. The real
difficulty in Ireland lay in few congested dis
tricts. Parliamentary action prevented the
landlords from applying for the only legitimate
remedy. Land acts destroyed all ownership by
transfer of land from one to another. rendering
reform impossible. Mr.. Gladstones legislation
stopped all sales of land to capitalists and rem
dered it impossible for any one other than
tenant to buy. 1t was a singular settlement
which it was desired to stereotype on Irish soil.
Vast numbers of tenants were unable to cult
vats their farms and obtain livelihood under
the ordinary conditions of tenancy.
Earl Kimberley said the Gladstouians always
held that satisfactory settlement of the
agrariau question must precede final solution Of
the Irish problem.
Lord Selborne said the present bill was merely
provisional with regard to larger land measure
promised by the government.
Lord Granville denounced the bill, and char
acterized it as placing an absolute premium
upon dishonesty and fraud. and predicted that
it would ultimately involve both landlords and
tenants in common ruin.
After 81 extended discussion of the measure

whether their lordships would con-
firm its second reading, when Lord
Denman also arose to speak against the bill.
The Lord Chancellor ignored Lord Denman.
put the Question, and the second reading was
carried.without division. After the result
was announced the house adjourned While
their Lordships were leaving the house, Lord
Denman said in loud tone of voice: "This is
another case of cloture. / have been treated in
most overwhelmingly style, and if any gentleman
doubts it am ready to give him satisfaction"

CHICAGO, April 22,-The national council of
administration OF the Grand Army of the Re-
public met to-day at the Grand Pacific Hotel,
Samuel Harper of Pennsylvania, being the only

sided, and the other members of the council
Messrs. r. F. Wilson. of Chicago; D. B.
Austin, of Toledo; E. F. Weigel. of ST. Louis,
and j. l.. Waite, of Racine Resolutions were
passed indorsing the order of the commander-in-
chief. directing the posts Of the Grand Army to
pay no attention to requests asking the posts to
furnish information in regard to pension legisla-
tion The council decided that to comply with
the questions propounded by the New York
Tribune would be in violation of the rules
passed by the eighteenth and nineteenth en-
campments of the Grand Army of the Republic
The council contends that the Grand Army has
secured great many advantages to the wounded
soldier in past pension legislation, and holds
that it is best that G. A. r. posts take action In
pension matters only in union with the whole
army. The council formally approved general
order No. r. and recommended the issuing of a
supplementary order explaining it more fully.
